Apparently there's another C&W do on at the campsite the same week as the Nats.
Those of you who've stayed there will know there's plenty of room for vans & tents, but if you want one of the cabins you'll need to get a booking in EARLY.

Cromwell League, Labour Weekend 2018
John Smith organised a league over Labour Weekend nominally based in Cromwell. Day 1 was an outing to Magic Mountain (Ahuriri) where strong winds kept all to the lower takeoff. Only John and Hagen got off before the day blew out.
Days 2 & 3 were on the Old Woman Range in the lee of the Remarkables, with the Nevis Valley in between. There's a good 4WD road through (last time I was there, about 12 years ago). Goal on Day 2 was Cromwell, and Alex on Day 3.

2019 Registration
Registration for 2019 is now open - a link to the details is on the left.
There won't be an official pre-comp XC clinic this time.
Accomodation & Maps links are the same as last year. Everyone stayed at Riverside - plenty of room & great facilities. It's the comp HQ.
Start making wishes for the weather. Last year was exceptional... we hope not.
